Steven Cook

I’m an author, teacher and storyteller living in the UK. For over fifteen years I've been writing both short and long-form fiction alongside storytelling in role-playing games, Dungeons and Dragons foremost among them. I write across a variety of genres, including published content for D&D 5e. Tabletop roleplaying games have led me to create collaborative narratives that are both far-reaching and reactive in nature. Additionally, fourteen years of teaching to an outstanding level at both a primary and secondary level have given me a skillset that includes a great deal of experience in public speaking, breaking ideas down into structured concepts, and working as part of an extremely varied team.
